Nokia 3200 review

Published on: 05 September, 2004 by KidoBorg

When trying to compare phones, you have to make sure that you select two devise in the same category. You should not try to compare Sony Ericsson P910 and let say Sony Ericsson T300, since the P910 will have times more features but it is designed for a different target audience. When trying to evaluate the Nokia 3200, my view point is that the phone is designed for the youth market and I should make sure it has an appeal for this market. Unfortunately, Nokia 3200 lacks it. It is a very well designed phone with many features, but just using weird keys and having clear faceplates does not cut it. If you want a well built phone with a lot of functionality and you do not care about interactive GUI, Nokia 3200 will satisfy your needs. If you are a young person wanting more action from your phone, look elsewhere.

Pros

  • Radio / Flashlight (great if you live in Florida and a hurricane cuts your power off)
  • CIF camera with satisactory quality
  • Good battery life
  • Speakerphone

Cons

  • Has no appeal for the youth market - same old form factor with same old Series 40 Graphic platform
  • No voice dialing
